Example: Node drop shadows

  • Created 2008-04-29

The tikz output format is highly customizable thanks to TikZ’ powerful style options. In this example drop shadows have been added to all the nodes.

Note: This example requires PGF 2.00 or later. Download the PDF to fully see the drop shadow effect. The bitmap rendering does not render transparency well.

Generated with:

$ dot2tex -ftikz --prog neato -s --crop dropshadows.dot > dropshadows.tex

    "Node B" -- {"Node E"; "Node G"};
    "Node C" -- "Node D";
    "Node D" -- {"Node F"; "Node H"};
    "Node E" -- {"Node F"; "Node H"; "Node G"};
